Key Segments and Insights

---

1. Dr. Lori’s Thrift Store Appraisal Extravaganza

[02:48 – 24:00]

Meet Dr. Lori

• Dr. Lori, PhD (Art and Architectural History, Penn State), is a leading expert on antiques and host of a blockbuster YouTube thrifting channel.
• She shares how reselling changed fans’ lives, sometimes becoming a full-time job:

  “I had one woman… needed a medical procedure she couldn’t afford, watched the videos, did what I said, resold it… and paid for it.” – Dr. Lori [03:26]

Incredible Appraisal Stories

• Dr. Lori recounts her biggest “hidden treasure” discoveries:
  • Man buys a supposed Renoir painting for $275, believes it’s a fake. Dr. Lori authenticates it as a genuine Renoir worth $2.1 million. [04:49–06:09]
  • George Washington’s wallet, carried across the Delaware, brought in by an elderly woman; worth $3 million. Ended up in a museum. [06:28–07:19]
  • Helping everyday people realize “stuff is out there”—even in modest homes.

Show Thrift Store Finds – Appraisals

a) Morgan’s Lion Painting

• Goodwill find, drawn by signature and an envelope hidden inside.
• Dr. Lori’s verdict: lithograph print (not original), but nice quality, signed in the plate.
• Value: $150 (including frame)
• Purchase Price: $5.99
• Quote:

  “While you think it’s a painting, it’s a very good reproduction print… Definitely can put that on eBay.” – Dr. Lori [09:45–10:09]

b) Eddie’s Signed Print

• Painting, signed “to Chris,” dated.
• Dr. Lori: Recognizes artist Michael Sloan, pencil-signed, 1982.
• Value: $350 retail, eBay likely $175+
• Purchase price: $7
• Quote:

  “Retail value on this piece is $350…That’s excellent. And the frame? Not great, but you don’t have to do a thing to resell it.” – Dr. Lori [13:07–13:35]

c) Lunchbox’s Porcelain Figures

• Japanese-made, mimic 18th-century French rococo style, likely 75 years old.
• Value: $100 for the pair (could be a bit less after discovering a broken finger)
• Purchase price: $6
• Quote:

  “If you get something for 10% and flip it, you’re doing great… Don’t be surprised when you see the 25-30-year-olds wanting these for ‘grandma chic’.” – Dr. Lori [16:45–17:16]

d) Bobby’s Vintage Leather Football Helmet

• Early 20th-century, bought for $28 at an antique store.
• Dr. Lori: Original details, some mice-damage, replaced string, but exterior looks good.
• Value: $75 (versus Johnny Unitas’ helmet, which was appraised for $1,500)
• Stand (Edwardian, c.1915): +$15–20.
• Quote:

  “In here—mice have been in here eating this…and you have the original string, too. Not that [the helmet] is going to protect you much.” – Dr. Lori [18:17–19:00]

The Reality Check Side

• Dr. Lori shares an example of high hopes dashed:
  • In Indiana, a man brings a Ball canning jar (1858 date embossed). He believes it’s the first ever made – turns out it’s just common; value: $8.

  “From the rafters, in that order, in that theater, he starts yelling at me… You’re so wrong!” [22:10–22:57]

Reselling Tips & Trends

• Thrift store regulars often buy in bulk to cross-list items for reselling (“multibillion dollar business”).
• Selling “parts” can be valuable for collectors.
• For new resellers: start with unwanted attic/basement items and learn what's valuable before selling.
• Sports collectibles, fine art, furniture, and jewelry: long-term value winners.

2. Bobby’s Deep Dives: Ultrasound and Heart Transplant History

[28:56 – 35:40]

Origins of Ultrasound

• Developed from studies on bat echolocation post-WWI.
• WWII sonar adaptation to medicine; by 1950s, used for pregnancy imaging.
• Fun fact: convincing the first pregnant women to try ultrasound must have been wild.

Heart Transplant History & Ethics

• Team uses AI assistant to explore how transplanted hearts are kept alive:
  • “On ice” gives a 4–6 hour window; newer perfusion devices keep the heart beating, can extend life for transport.
• Transplants after “brain death”—surgical pioneers were once accused of playing God:

  “In the very early days, some surgeons did face accusations that were pretty intense. It's a good reminder of how much medical ethics have evolved over time.” – Heart Transplant Expert (AI assistant) [33:26]

• Discussion on logistics: moving organs vs. bodies, what defines death, future of artificial hearts ("less than 10 years" away).

Memorable Pop Culture Comments

• On whiskey as investment:

[Dr. Laurie]

Hi you guys.

[Bobby Bones]

Good to see you. Dr. Lori hey, good to see you. What. What are you doing in town?

[Dr. Laurie]

Well, I was speaking at the Goodwill shop, Goodwill E Summit, where you can go and scroll and find all the stuff that, you know goes into donations and then gets onto Goodwill. And then I was taping for my YouTube channel in thrift stores and antique shops and such, because I show you what to walk by and what to buy. Right?

[Bobby Bones]

That's cool.

[Dr. Laurie]

It's cool. And people have done really well following the YouTube channel and making money. You know, I've had some wonderful stories. People who have said I hated a job. I followed your, your videos. And you know what, Dr. Lori? I was able to quit that job and do this full time just by.

[Bobby Bones]

Going and like thrifting, but finding stuff to resell. Yeah, that's crazy.

[Dr. Laurie]

And watching my videos, I had one woman who got in touch with me and she said, Dr. Lurie, I needed a medical procedure. It was a lot of money, I couldn't afford it. And I watched the videos, I did what you said, I resold it, I did it the way you told me to do it, blah, blah, blah. And so that was exciting. And educating a child, that's a big deal, right? So was able to save money doing this reselling. Some of it's a side hustle, some of it's just their full time jobs now. So it's cool. It's cool to have an impact like that.

[Bobby Bones]

And you have a PhD in this?

[Dr. Laurie]

I have a PhD in art and architectural history from Penn State.

[Bobby Bones]

So what do you study when you're getting a PhD in this?

[Dr. Laurie]

Well, I worked in museums because I was a poor kid in New Haven, Connecticut. And basically the idea was I wanted to be around pretty things, right? Because I didn't have pretty things. So I lived about. I grew up five minutes from the Yale campus and I used to go to the museum and you could just go in for free and look around. So I studied museum studies and art history. I got the PhD after getting a swimming scholarship at the University of Michigan. And so I always had to go on scholarships, whether it was sports or something, or smarts, whatever it was. And anyway, so long story short, that's what you study. You basically study the construction of objects and the history around it. So you have to know what's going on in a time period and why that object is important in that time period.

[Bobby Bones]

Have you had anybody? Or what is your most successful story of somebody bringing something to you and you got to reveal to them that the value was so much more than they thought?

[Dr. Laurie]

A gentleman. I was appearing on my tour in Virginia. A gentleman was in Rhode Island. He had purchased a painting in Boston. He paid $275 for the painting. And he said, I want you to look at it, because everybody's telling me it's a fake. So he drives it from Rhode island to Virginia, and I look at it during one of my appraisal shows. And I said, well, there's a dust screen on the back. That's the piece of paper on the back of a canvas. I rip off the canvas. I rip off the paper on the back of the campus. It says, pour le monde, Auguste Renoir. So by my hand, I painted it. Auguste Renoir, the great French impressionist. So, of course, everybody's gonna think it's not real, right?

[Bobby Bones]

So.

[Dr. Laurie]

Well, there's a studio address for the 1918 World War II era studio that he abandoned because of the war. There is a dealer's mark on it. And I go, oh, yeah, it's real. And he just looks at me and he says, what do you mean it's real? I said, it's definitely real. It's a portrait of a woman leaning on her hand. Her name was Gabrielle, one of the very famous models of the French impressionist Renoir. And I said, oh. I said, so where'd you get it? I got it at auction. I said, well, you know, it's worth $2.1 million.

[Eddie]

No way.

[Morgan]

Oh, my God.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, my gosh.

[Dr. Laurie]

Hand to God. So he looks at me, he goes, how do you know it's real? How do I know it's real? I'm the best in the country. How do I know it's real? All of the provenance stuff, all the background stuff was there. It was signed on the front. But everybody thinks these signatures are fakes.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Dr. Laurie]

And she had. Her second husband died. They moved to Boston. She moves to Boston to be with her son. So it makes sense that it's in Boston. It was one of the last portraits of his very famous model. Things worth a lot of money.

[Bobby Bones]

Did he ever sell it?

[Dr. Laurie]

He did not sell it. He. I. I think he still has it, and I don't blame him. He's holding out for the. The value of it. Oh, my goodness. It's a wonderful example. And it's something that, you know, all the museums and all the art historians don't know about. So there it is. It's sitting right there. People have the stuff. I've been saying it since I started the tour in 1998. You have it. It's in your house. Just because it's yours, you think it's not valuable. But I'M telling you, it's out there. And it's usually in those homes that you don't. You don't believe. George Washington's wallet came into my appraisal show with an 85 year old woman and her 103-year-old mother. It was the wallet he was carrying when he crossed the Delaware. And they're going, yes, we know. And they had all of the history, the family history of it. When you drove up to those women's home, those women live in a home worth maybe $100,000. The wallet was worth maybe $3 million.

[Heart Transplant Expert]

No way.

[Dr. Laurie]

So, you know, and they said, we don't want to sell it. We're very happy. We want it to go to a museum. We think it's a piece of history. It's in a museum today.

[Morgan]

Oh, wow.

[Dr. Laurie]

The stuff is around. And people go, oh, no, it can't be valuable. And it's not on ebay. And all of this stuff and it's, it's stuff is out there.

[Bobby Bones]

So I gave the show the homework to go to. A lot went to Goodwill. I went to an antique place, and we just, we wanted to see if we could bring something in and it'd be valued at more than we bought it for, much like you teach. And also we read these stories that are similar where someone's, like, finding an old painting.

[Dr. Laurie]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

And they go get it checked out, and it's like, worth $3 million. Now, I know that's not normal or.

[Dr. Laurie]

It'S not all the time.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. But it does happen.

[Dr. Laurie]

Sure, it does happen.

[Bobby Bones]

So, Amy, I know you have a painting for sure. So can you tell me the story of the painting you have and where you got it?

[Morgan]

So I went to Goodwill, and it was the only thing they had there, at least that I could see that looked like it maybe could be or something. There were some other ones, like maybe my trained eye, but this one, just, like, it had a signature. And then on the back.

[Dr. Laurie]

Okay, here we go.

[Morgan]

On the back, it had something tucked inside. And so there could have been other ones, but I just. That was the only thing that drew me to it, was the envelope tucked inside.

[Dr. Laurie]

Okay. I'm happy that you looked at the back, too, because the back can tell you a lot of information for your listeners. Because the back, what kind of.

[Bobby Bones]

It says African lion on it. Is it a painting of a lion? Can I see it? So it's a painting of a lion.

[Eddie]

That's a cool line.

[Bobby Bones]

And it says Renoir. What if she hit it for like, $1.1 million.

[Eddie]

That's Van Gogh is good.

[Morgan]

Fancy name, like Francois.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, well, you don't have to be French to be fancy.

[Eddie]

Oh, Dr. Laura has her gloves on.

[Dr. Laurie]

What'd you say?

[Eddie]

Oh, you have your gloves on.

[Dr. Laurie]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

So, Amy, don't say what you spent on it. I'm sure not much, but we'll see what she thinks the value is. Okay. Right. Dr. Lori's in with us.

[Dr. Laurie]

Oh. So here's what she's talking about.

[Bobby Bones]

There's an envelope.

[Dr. Laurie]

Yeah. So basically what you have here is you have a lithograph print. So it looks like a painting, but it's not. Amy, can you come back over here?

[Morgan]

Oh, okay.

[Dr. Laurie]

I'm sorry to make you.

[Bobby Bones]

Hey, you get scammed.

[Dr. Laurie]

But I want to show you this.

[Bobby Bones]

Somehow Amy owes more money.

[Eddie]

Amy.

[Bobby Bones]

So, yeah, let the. That makes sense. Okay. Oh, Amy's got the thing in her eye that she's looking at.

[Dr. Laurie]

Blurry.

[Bobby Bones]

Is it because it's all the dots or Amy's old. Yeah, one of the two.

[Morgan]

I don't.

[Bobby Bones]

Looks like somebody looking at diamonds back in the day. Yeah. Yeah.

[Morgan]

Oh, oh, here we go.

[Bobby Bones]

AC Paint strokes.

[Morgan]

But maybe they're not like full blown strokes. Maybe they are dots.

[Dr. Laurie]

It's dots. But having said that, it's signed in the plate, which means when they actually make the image, he signs the work in one place and then they just reproduce it on more pieces of paper. Got it. All right, so while you think it's a painting, it's a very good reproduction print. Okay. It's very good. And he's very well known. He dies in 2005. Retail value on this piece is about $150.

[Bobby Bones]

What'd you spend on it?

[Dr. Laurie]

Includes the frame. Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

What'd you spend? Wow.

[Morgan]

Let me tell you what I spent.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay.

[Dr. Laurie]

Oh, we have this little bio, which.

[Bobby Bones]

Is good, but she doesn't know.

[Eddie]

She's looking at the price tag.

[Bobby Bones]

She's stalling out.

[Morgan]

I was looking at the Goodwill price tag. Yep, 5.99.

[Bobby Bones]

So could you put on eBay and make 50 bucks, you think? Yeah. Oh, yeah.

[Dr. Laurie]

You definitely can put that on ebay, because some people just say, I don't care about the artwork. I'm gonna put a mirror in that frame, and I'm gonna put it on my bath in my bathroom.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay.

[Dr. Laurie]

Nice, Amy.

[Bobby Bones]

Good job.

[Eddie]

Good job.

[Dr. Laurie]

She also purchased a piece that was by an artist who is known for Animalier, which is basically animal pig pictures.

[Bobby Bones]

Sounds dirty. I'm gonna be honest. It sounds like something you do with an animal.

[Morgan]

I do Feel like I used, like, tips or stuff. I've heard you say before, like, I. There's probably other stuff I could have gotten, but something about that or the envelope. I don't know. There was something that drew me to it, and now.

[Dr. Laurie]

Well, that's good. And you probably, you know, a lot of it is the realism of it. Right. It did look like an African lion. I've never seen one them, but, you know, I guess they're good.

[Bobby Bones]

That's what I would think they'd look like. Yeah.

[Dr. Laurie]

But that's how it is.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Dr. Laurie]

No, very. It was a good pick.

[Bobby Bones]

Who all got some? Who all brought something?

[Eddie]

Oh, I got something.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay. Eddie, do you want to go?

[Eddie]

Sure.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, Explain what it is first.

[Eddie]

Absolutely. Mine is also a painting. But now, after you did Amy's dot stroke thing, I think that mine is also a print.

[Bobby Bones]

However.

[Eddie]

However, mine is signed by the artist and it actually is made to a guy named Chris. It says to Chris. It has the date on it and the artist signed it underneath. I'll give it to you.

[Dr. Laurie]

Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

Dots or strokes, Eddie? That's gonna be the question.

[Dr. Laurie]

There it is.

[Bobby Bones]

I didn't know that. That's.

[Morgan]

Yeah. Let me know if you can use that little eye thingy.

[Bobby Bones]

All right.

[Eddie]

I mean, strokes would be awesome.

[Bobby Bones]

Eddie's going to the eye.

[Eddie]

Oh, yes.

[Bobby Bones]

He's got the jeweler eye in. Yes. Oh, boy. What do you see?

[Eddie]

I'm pretty sure I see dots. Oh, these are very fine dots.

[Bobby Bones]

100% dang. Chris got a dotted painting.

[Eddie]

Almost. Almost look like leopard dots.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. Has anyone ever painted in dots?

[Dr. Laurie]

Yes, the pointillists of the late 19th century have painted, of course. Dots, right?

[Bobby Bones]

Yes.

[Dr. Laurie]

Paul Signac and the. And the crew, they're not as important as Renoir, but anyway. So this piece is signed. Pencil. Signed and signed in the plate. You want both. This is all neither here nor there, but basically 1982 is when he got to sign it. Pencil, sign it. But he printed it in 1981. You want the dates to match. Not a bad thing. It's not a bad thing. Like despondent. No, it's not a bad thing. So Michael Sloan is a very well known artist of these kinds of pieces. You've heard of piece? Yeah. Very, very, very, very well known for this image as well.

[Eddie]

And that image is called what? A watchful eye.

[Dr. Laurie]

A watchful eye. Cool. So one animal is looking as the other animal sort of takes a drink.

[Morgan]

You.

[Dr. Laurie]

You know, this reminds me of my Pennsylvania backyard where all the deer are and all they do is like, eat every plant I put back there. So, same kind of thing. Retail value on this piece is $350. Whoa. I know. That's excellent.

[Eddie]

That's amazing.

[Dr. Laurie]

That's excellent. And the frame.

[Bobby Bones]

You got to be kidding me.

[Dr. Laurie]

Not great.

[Bobby Bones]

The bad frame.

[Dr. Laurie]

Yeah. Like, her frame was really nice. This frame was like, eh.

[Bobby Bones]

Would you reframe it and sell it?

[Dr. Laurie]

You don't have to do a thing to resell it. You know, you could just go, hey, it's here. Too bad the frame isn't great.

[Bobby Bones]

You know, sell that on ebay.

[Dr. Laurie]

And you got it for 5.99.

[Eddie]

Yeah. $7 after taxes and all that.

[Dr. Laurie]

Yeah. You know, you gotta pay.

[Morgan]

Oh, yeah. And they asked me if I wanted to round up.

[Bobby Bones]

I rounded up to donate. Look at you guys.

[Dr. Laurie]

They're doing good work. All these thrift stores are doing good work. They're trying to help people in the community. So hey, round up if you can.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, Eddie.

[Dr. Laurie]

That's nice, Eddie.

[Eddie]

Hey, that is good news, Dr. Laurie. Thank you.

[Bobby Bones]

What do you think he can actually get for that?

[Dr. Laurie]

I think you could get, I think, on like, only ebay. I'd say 175.

[Bobby Bones]

That's good. That's solid.

[Dr. Laurie]

But you know, in the market, retail, if you got it into an art environment, market online, you know, one of those other websites, platforms, I would probably say closer to 350.

[Bobby Bones]

Go to the clearinghouse Lunchbox. Oh, I got something. Go ahead. Oh, my. Let me tell you what I got. These look like they were made on the Mayflower. He's already selling. Dr. Laurie. Yeah.

[Dr. Laurie]

Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

These are not.

[Eddie]

These aren't paintings.

[Bobby Bones]

These are, I mean, beautiful Mayflower people. Oh, like figurines. Like porcelain figures.

[Eddie]

Hey, that's.

[Dr. Laurie]

These are cool.

[Bobby Bones]

These are legit. Okay. These are so is that the brand?

[Dr. Laurie]

Yeah. So expensive.

[Bobby Bones]

Amazing how much you spend on them. I can't tell you yet. And there's no dots? No, they're.

[Dr. Laurie]

No, There are no dots.

[Bobby Bones]

Those guys. Okay, tell me those are.

[Eddie]

So you have only two.

[Bobby Bones]

Porcelain man, porcelain woman. That or the people in the Mayflower. Okay. The original people on the Mayflower.

[Dr. Laurie]

Yes.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, what do you see there?

[Dr. Laurie]

Dr. Laurie, let me teach you a little bit about time. Period first.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, go ahead. Is that Mayflower?

[Dr. Laurie]

Let me do that. So, no, this is not Mayflower. Mayflower is the 1600s, right?

[Bobby Bones]

Sure.

[Dr. Laurie]

These are trying to look like the. The 1700. Oh, but you're close. They're only 100 years off. So basically the idea here is that you have two rococo figures. Boom.

[Eddie]

Rococo you don't even know what that is.

[Bobby Bones]

Heck of a Disney movie. Hey, does Rococo sound good or what?

[Dr. Laurie]

It's good. So basically that is the 18th century in France. Okay. These pieces are made in Japan.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh.

[Dr. Laurie]

And they're not made in the 18th century. How old are they?

[Bobby Bones]

When was 50 years?

[Dr. Laurie]

Yeah. 75 years.

[Bobby Bones]

Whoa.

[Dr. Laurie]

Close.

[Bobby Bones]

Those are great shape for 75 years old.

[Dr. Laurie]

Exactly.

[Bobby Bones]

Have you seen a 75 year old look that good?

[Dr. Laurie]

Exactly. No. Okay, so they are in very good condition. And one of the telltale signs of a Japanese reproduction is this gold little element down here, which basically look like little strokes down at the bottom. So that's basically what you're looking at. And you have the pair. So anytime you have a set, you always want to maintain the set.

[Bobby Bones]

That's what I thought.

[Dr. Laurie]

So you didn't buy just one and walk away.

[Bobby Bones]

That would have been dumb.

[Dr. Laurie]

That would have been dumb.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Dr. Laurie]

Okay, so retail value on these Japanese 75 years old retail value on the pair. What do you think they're worth?

[Bobby Bones]

I was thinking probably 500.

[Dr. Laurie]

Okay, well, you're off by about 400. They're worth about 100 bucks.

[Morgan]

Not bad.

[Dr. Laurie]

Not bad.

[Bobby Bones]

What'd you spend on it? $6.

[Dr. Laurie]

Oh, goodness.

[Bobby Bones]

Still a profit. What do you think you could get on eBay?

[Dr. Laurie]

60.

[Bobby Bones]

Man.

[Dr. Laurie]

Still good. $6 make 60. I tell everybody if you can get something for 10% and then flip it.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Dr. Laurie]

You know, and you're gonna get 100%. You're doing great.

[Bobby Bones]

You disappointed? Yeah.

[Dr. Laurie]

Are you really? Six bucks to make a hundred. How could you be disappointed by that lunchbox?

[Morgan]

You need to target grandma chic.

[Dr. Laurie]

Exactly.

[Bobby Bones]

Getting grandma publishers.

[Dr. Laurie]

Exactly, exactly. And don't be surprised when you see, you know, the 25 and 30 year old ladies wanting these because they want really grandma's house. The 50 year old ladies don't want it to look like their mother's house, but the granddaughters want it to look like their house to look like their grandmother's house.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, I'm gonna go last. And so there's a small antique shop near my house.

[Dr. Laurie]

Did your wife go with you? I know she likes antique.

[Bobby Bones]

She does, but not this time. I'd seen it before. So this is a vintage leather helmet from back in the.

[Eddie]

Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

Back in the football days, back when they played with leather helmets.

[Eddie]

That's amazing.

[Dr. Laurie]

And so I appraised one. That was Johnny Unitis.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Dr. Laurie]

That one was worth a lot of money.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. This one is.

[Eddie]

Well, don't put it on your head.

[Bobby Bones]

But I'm showing you it looks small.

[Dr. Laurie]

See, I'm with. I'm with. I'm with. Eddie.

[Bobby Bones]

Don't put it on your head. I want you to show. This is. This is actually the helmet.

[Dr. Laurie]

That's all they have.

[Eddie]

That's amazing.

[Bobby Bones]

Wow.

[Morgan]

Amazing.

[Bobby Bones]

It's gross.

[Eddie]

Ew.

[Morgan]

Yeah.

[Dr. Laurie]

I'm sorry. You put it on your head. Yeah, do that. Do more.

[Bobby Bones]

You did okay.

[Eddie]

Oh, she's smelling.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't know if you could even. Like. You're the expert. What do you think there?

[Dr. Laurie]

See the construction on that?

[Bobby Bones]

I. Okay. I don't see very well.

[Eddie]

What does it have on the inside, Dr. Laurie?

[Bobby Bones]

Like wool.

[Dr. Laurie]

On the inside is leather. Right. On the inside, you've got reinforcements on both sides. And you can see that it's been in. And I. I don't want to say this because you put it on your head.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Dr. Laurie]

But in here. Mice have been in here eating this.

[Bobby Bones]

You know, that's. That's old school.

[Dr. Laurie]

So that is old school.

[Eddie]

Old mice.

[Dr. Laurie]

Yes. Old dead mice.

[Bobby Bones]

Yes.

[Dr. Laurie]

Anyway, so that's what you've got. You have the original string, too. That's unusual that you'd have the little shoestring here. I think the string actually was a later replacement because that used to be leather in there. Used to be leather to attach it so it wouldn't fall off. Not that it's going to protect you much. I don't like the green at all.

[Bobby Bones]

Packers New Rockne.

[Dr. Laurie]

It's not that I don't like the Green Bay packers, but. No, it's just that I don't like the green on it. So I think this particular piece. Well, it dates through the early years of the 20th century. What'd you pay for it? You probably paid more in an antique store than they paid at Goodwill.

[Bobby Bones]

Paid $28 for it.

[Dr. Laurie]

Oh, that's not that bad. That's not that bad. If you. The one that I appraised, that was. Belonged to Johnny Unitis, was worth upwards of 1500 at the time. And that was some years ago, I would say. Retail value on this piece is going to be about $75.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't want to sell it. I bought it to actually have and keep myself.

[Dr. Laurie]

Yeah. Because they're hard to come by.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Dr. Laurie]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

And so.

[Dr. Laurie]

And the outside of it's in very good condition. Really?

[Bobby Bones]

He didn't get to play much, I don't think. Yeah, He's a bench warmer.

[Dr. Laurie]

I guess so.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. And I got the little stand with it, too. How about that? That's pretty cool stand.

[Dr. Laurie]

Well, the little. The cool stand is Cool. And actually the stand.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, can you imagine?

[Eddie]

Oh, my gosh.

[Bobby Bones]

If the twist happened, she's eyeing that.

[Eddie]

Stand like it's awesome.

[Dr. Laurie]

Well, you know what it is? It's a girl thing.

[Bobby Bones]

Go ahead.

[Dr. Laurie]

Right, because.

[Eddie]

Is that for hats?

[Dr. Laurie]

Yes, exactly.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, what do we have?

[Dr. Laurie]

Aren't you a dude over there? I know, yeah, it's for hats. Okay, well, they. Somebody DIY'd it. Somebody spray painted it. It's Edwardian. It dates to like 1915 on the base. And then they added this part at the top, which is.

[Bobby Bones]

What's the stand go for, you think?

[Dr. Laurie]

Oh, 20 bucks. 15 bucks.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay.

[Eddie]

She went down.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. Difference is I'm gonna keep mine in my house and show it off. You guys gonna show your little paintings off?

[Eddie]

No, we're gonna sell.

[Bobby Bones]

You gonna sell?

[Morgan]

I might keep my lion.

[Dr. Laurie]

I like the African lion. And I like yours too. Too.

[Eddie]

I'm selling it.

[Bobby Bones]

What about the Japanese figures that look like the Mayflower?

[Dr. Laurie]

Well, I think they kind of go with, you know, lunchbox's motif, doesn't it?

[Bobby Bones]

I don't know what motif means, but.

[Dr. Laurie]

I think that, I think they're nice. I'm upset that one of the fingers is broken. Actually her whole hand has no fingers, but. Oh no, we got to decrease value a little bit for that.

[Bobby Bones]

It's like bad AI. Yeah. So is it below 100 now?

[Dr. Laurie]

Yeah. AI mill out of mistakes.

[Bobby Bones]

A low.

[Dr. Laurie]

A little lower. Yeah, I'd go a little lower. I'm sorry. Don't be so upset. It's only six bucks. But you got to look and make sure that the fingers aren't broken. But the rest of it really is quite good. And you were close with, you know, Plymouth, like Pilgrims?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, I like the hat. 100 years or so. Yeah.

[Morgan]

So I had this thought when I was at Goodwill yesterday and I saw people going around and like filling up their cart with stuff. And I was like, I wonder if this is what they. They're doing. Like they're buying it there and then reselling it somewhere.

[Dr. Laurie]

Yes. I'll tell you what they're doing. They're doing exactly that. They're reselling it in some places. They're cross listing it on multiple platforms at once, so you don't have to keep like, I'm going to post it on this platform and that platform and this platform. They do it one place and then it just copies it to all the different platforms. The ebay, the Etsy's, the this ones are that ones. You know, when I teach my how to sell old stuff Class people are going, how do you do that? And there's a way you can do that. Not difficult. You just have to do it right. Everything's work. We all know that. But that's basically what it is. So they're filling their carts. They're going to post it on multiple platforms. Some people just want to sell stuff for parts. That is huge at Goodwill and all of the thrift stores and antique stores, because a lot of times there are collectors who just want to use the parts. They just like to tinker with an old watch, for example, so they need the parts from something. So that's what they're doing. They're doing quite well. And so are the thrift stores. You know, thrift stores are a multibillion dollar. Thrifting in general is a multibillion dollar business.

[Bobby Bones]

Do you have a good story of someone coming, thinking they have something really expensive and getting the harsh reality handed to them?

[Dr. Laurie]

I actually do. So I was in Fort Wayne, Indiana, and a gentleman brought me a ball canning jar. It was blue, you know, maybe 8 inches tall, and had the metal top and on the side of says ball 1858. And I said, well, sir, it's very interesting. It's in good shape. It's worth $8. And from the rafters, in that order in that theater. He starts yelling at me, you're wrong. You're so wrong. What are you talking about, Dr. Laura? I thought you were an expert. You're wrong. That's the first bull canning jar ever. I said, no. They all say. He goes, it's from 1858. I said, they all say, 1858. So he really thought he had the first one because of the. The date that's embossed on the glass jar. He was mad.

[Bobby Bones]

Tragic.

[Dr. Laurie]

He was mad.

[Bobby Bones]

In my guts. That'd be tragedy, thinking I came with a $100,000 jar.

[Dr. Laurie]

It's hard. It's tough.

[Bobby Bones]

Eight bucks.

[Dr. Laurie]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Feels like lunchbox was Plymouth figurines. He wanted to start yelling at her. You can go to Dr.lauriev.com or again, go to her channel, because she teaches you how to actually do this as a side hustle or as a main career.

[Dr. Laurie]

Yeah, people love it.

[Bobby Bones]

Or if it's just for fun, how do people start?

[Dr. Laurie]

A lot of people find me by accident and go, I didn't know any of this. A lot of people start after they've made a mistake with something else. So they find out that they sold something too low, and then they go, oh, before I keep doing this, I better find out. So and you can start with just something that you don't care about in your attic or your basement. You know, you think I'm going to resell it. I want to remind everybody that sports collectibles are going to continue to be some of the biggest collectibles out there and that you should really talk very seriously with kids and grandkids and whomever about fine art, furniture and jewelry, because it's always going to be valuable. It's going to continue to increase in value long term. So as well as the sports stuff.

[Bobby Bones]

I got really into vintage baseball cards, the new as well. But I feel like vintage doesn't lose value where new is very much a lottery ticket.

[Dr. Laurie]

I agree with you.

[Bobby Bones]

Because players can either not be as good or they can mess up in their personal lives, which sinks value.

[Dr. Laurie]

That's true.

[Bobby Bones]

But dead people really can't do wrong. And so I've gotten an advantage. Baseball cards, like 50s, 60s. Thoughts on that?

[Dr. Laurie]

Well, I will say my dad was a major league baseball player for a very short time in the 40s, and this year I had the great honor of bringing his World War II baseball balls to the hall of Fame, which they accepted. So I was like beyond over the moon over that. And because of loving baseball always, those nineteen six, fifties, sixties, seventies players have more of an aura, of course, around them. And because we didn't have all of the social media and all the connections that we have now, you. You will see that it was much harder to source those pieces. So if you have those pieces, the value starts much higher. So you're going to see that those pieces will continue to increase in value because of course, they really are one of one, one of a kind, the newer pieces. You're right. When we know everything about everybody's personal life because of this connection we have with social media, you'll see that those pieces won't retain value as well. And so many people sell them as lots of. But if you have one, you have the Mickey Mantle rookie card, you have those kinds of things, you're going to probably do pretty well.

[Bobby Bones]

We really enjoyed this. Thank you for coming by. Are you off on another.

[Dr. Laurie]

Oh, my gosh, I'm so happy to be here. I had a great time in Nashville and it's a great city. I got to come back more often and yeah, I just came from Houston. I'm on my way to Atlanta and I'm touring and people can bring their stuff to my appraisal tour or they can get them on my website. And just if you have a question I'll answer it.

[Dr. Laurie]

Should I buy that for you? Lunchbox. Anything.

[Bobby Bones]

You don't give that to me on air. He had access to that.

[Eddie]

It's terrible.

[Bobby Bones]

We would never. Dr. Lori, thank you. We really enjoyed this.

[Heart Transplant Expert]

When I was broke and I had.

[Dr. Laurie]

No friends, nowhere to live. I was held up at gunpoint. I was robbed. All these horrendous things happened to me. I had such an unhappy childhood. That was whatever happened to me in New York, it's better than what my life was. So I'm not going back.

[Bobby Bones]

Listen to On Purpose. With Jay Shetty on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Hi, there. This is Josh Clark from the Stuff.

[Dr. Laurie]

[Bobby Bones]

If you've been thinking, man alive, I could go for some good true crime.

[Eddie]

Podcast episodes, then have we got good news for you.

[Dr. Laurie]

Stuff youf Should Know just released a playlist of 12 of our best true.

[Eddie]

Crime episodes of all time. There's a shootout in broad daylight, people.

[Bobby Bones]

Using axes in really terrible ways, disappearances.

[Eddie]

Legendary heists, the whole nine yards.

[Bobby Bones]

So check out the stuff you should know true crime Playlist on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Yeah, I've been studying the history of ultrasounds. Oh, we've done a bunch of ultrasounds. And, like, this is where my mind goes, like, how did it start? You care?

[Morgan]

I guess I'm curious now.

[Bobby Bones]

The science of ultrasound began after World War I when researchers studied how bats used echolocation.

[Eddie]

Oh, that's cool.

[Bobby Bones]

In the 1940s, engineers adapted sonar technology used in submarines into medical imaging research. So it was bats that led into submarines that led into, hey, can we do this on a smaller level? In 1942, an Austrian neurologist is credited with being the first to use ultrasound in medicine, attempting to image the brain with sound waves. In the 50s, real breakthroughs came through when a obstetrician, an engineer developed ultrasound machines for pregnant women. Well, imagine that. Convincing the first pregnant women that it was safe.

[Eddie]

I know they can harm your baby.

[Bobby Bones]

In the 60s and 70s, ultrasound began spreading widely in hospitals. So while the idea of the ultrasound dates back to 1910 and sonar, really the 50s is when it started being used for pregnancy. I was looking at a story too. I think it was like Heart Day Monday or something. National Heart Day. There was a national day for every day. So I don't really invest in all of them, but I was reading the story about the first people that ever did heart transplant and how they were called murderers.

[Eddie]

Wow.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

I saw a tik tok where this guy was flying. I don't know, private or something. He's like, look what's flying with me. And it was the beating heart.

[Bobby Bones]

It's a heart. Yeah.

[Eddie]

Like they're trying to get it to a patient, but it was in the box going.

[Bobby Bones]

And that's why they thought they were murderers at the time, because the person was still had. Because you only have so much time with a heart.

[Morgan]

Oh, you said murder. I thought you said martyr.

[Eddie]

I did too. I thought you said Martyr murderers.

[Morgan]

Oh, I was like, oh, yeah.

[Eddie]

Because they have to kill the person to get the heart.

[Bobby Bones]

No, but the person, like, is. Is on the edge of being dead. Or they're dead in their brain, but they're not dead in their heart. Wow. Oh.

[Eddie]

So how do they.

[Bobby Bones]

And you have to kill them to take the heart.

[Eddie]

How do they keep that heart going? Oh, is it a machine?

[Bobby Bones]

We thought what?

[Morgan]

Oh, I think they just put on ice. Right?

[Eddie]

I know, but it just beats on its own like that.

[Bobby Bones]

Let me ask my assistant. Yes. What'd you think? What about to Sammy.

[Morgan]

I thought they.

[Dr. Laurie]

They.

[Morgan]

I guess you make the decision as a family to unplug them.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, they're calling that murder in the early. They didn't have all the unplugging back in the 20s and 30s like it is today. You're talking about with technology now. Okay, here we go.

[Morgan]

That sucks.

[Bobby Bones]

Hello. I have a question for you. When a heart transplant happens, how do they keep the heart alive?

[Heart Transplant Expert]

Hey, there. Absolutely. I can explain that. So when a heart transplant is being done, the donor heart is actually kept alive and viable in a few ways. Traditionally, the heart is put into a special cold preservation solution and then transported on ice. That slows down its metabolism so it can survive for a few hours outside the body. But nowadays, there's also this technology called a heart perfusion device. It's kind of like a mini life support machine that keeps the heart warm and beating with blood and nutrients flowing through it that can extend the time the heart stays viable and keep it in better condition. So basically, they either chill it or keep it beating in a controlled environment until it's ready to be transplanted.

[Bobby Bones]

How long do they have before they have to transplant it?

[Heart Transplant Expert]

Yeah, that's a great question, too. So typically, with the traditional method of just keeping the heart on ice, they usually have about four to six hours to get it transplanted. That's the kind of golden window where the heart is still in really good shape. But with those newer perfusion machines I mentioned, sometimes they can stretch that out quite a bit longer, up to maybe eight hours or more, because it's being kept in a more natural functioning state. So it's kind of a race against time. But those techniques give surgeons a little more breathing.

[Bobby Bones]

So does the person still have to be alive to take the heart?

[Heart Transplant Expert]

Yeah, that's an important piece of it. So the donor is typically declared brain dead, which means that their brain has irreversibly stopped functioning, but their body is still being kept alive with machines. That way, the organs including the heart are still functioning and can be transplanted. So in other words, the donor isn't alive in the way we usually think of it, but their body is being maintained so that the heart can be used for someone who needs it.

[Bobby Bones]

The, the people that did the first heart transplants were they called murderers?

[Heart Transplant Expert]

Yeah. So that is a really interesting piece of history. The very first human heart transplants definitely sparked a lot of controversy and ethical debate. When Dr. Christian Barnard did the first successful human heart transplant in 1967 in South Africa, there were definitely people who questioned the ethics of it. I mean, it was a groundbreaking, kind of shocking procedure at the time. And there were definitely folks who were like, are you playing God or is this even ethical to take a heart from someone who's been declared brain dead? Over time though, as the medical community and society got more comfortable with the idea of brain death and organ donation, that kind of criticism faded away. But yeah, in the very early days, some of those surgeons did face accusations that were pretty intense. It's a good reminder of how much medical ethic have evolved over time.

[Eddie]

Wow, that's deep.

[Bobby Bones]

There you go. Dude. I do this for like an hour every day.

[Eddie]

And you just ask her questions?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, and just follow up. So I don't just ask a bunch of randoms. Like if I, if I want to get into something, I'll go like when I was asking earlier about the ultrasound. And then she says something. Oh, let me follow. Oh, what about this? And then 20 minutes has gone by and you're in love, you want to.

[Morgan]

Marry her, next thing you know.

[Eddie]

That's. So my dad could have been a heart donor.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. I don't know about, like, if someone's older or not. I don't know if there's like too old. Yeah.

[Eddie]

So that's just amazing to think about. I never, man, I've never even thought about asking those kinds of questions.

[Bobby Bones]

What do you mean just like that?

[Eddie]

Talking about heart transplants, I just like, well, that's kind of cool. But like to even know that they only have a four to six hour window. And then I'm thinking like, is it better, better to just bring the body to like, closer together so it's just a instant transfer than putting the heart on a plane trying to get it that way.

[Morgan]

Too risky to transport the body.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, it's gonna be harder to move her body as far.

[Eddie]

See, that's why I'm not a doctor.

[Bobby Bones]

No, that's not why you're not a doctor. That's exactly why that could be Like a part of a question that leads to people understanding why we're not all doctors, but that's not why you're not a doctor.

[Eddie]

And then how far do you think we are from a mechanical heart where.

[Bobby Bones]

It'S just not far. I mean, less than 10 years.

[Eddie]

Because the heart just pumps blood through our body. Right. Like, that's its job to. To pump all the blood to go all over our body. If we just have a mechanical heart, man, you're adding years and years to our life.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. The Chinese have that womb that they say they can now or they'll soon be able to, like, grow a baby in.

[Eddie]

Yes, you talked about that.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, so. And that's not something that's going to be used in the next couple years, but if they're there on that, they're probably close to a mechanical heart. Wow. Yeah. That's wild, man. Science.

[Eddie]

Science crazy.

[Bobby Bones]

Science is crazy, man. For sure. Okay, let's go around. Morgan, what is your story?

[Morgan]

Well, did you guys see Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco got married?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, they got married this past weekend. Huh?

[Morgan]

Yeah, it was like a whole, like, intimate ceremony in a backyard basically in California. And so they've been. They engaged last. No, December 2024. And yeah, now they're married. Taylor Swift was there and it was a really cute. She had multiple dresses. It looked really pretty.

[Bobby Bones]

I saw her hiding behind some umbrellas. Taylor. Oh, yeah, yeah. So she wouldn't be seen.

[Eddie]

She got rolled in a suitcase.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, that's.

[Morgan]

Wait, Selena had multiple dresses or. Taylor.

[Bobby Bones]

Selena had the dresses. Selena did. Taylor had the umbrellas. Yeah, yeah.

[Morgan]

And they said that they didn't tell guests where it was happening or really anything about it until the day before. That's when they all found out what was happening. They just flew in and then they got the details when they were there.

[Bobby Bones]

Speaking of stories from this weekend, you see the Kelly Pickler story. She went to the CMT Awards back, I don't know, a decade ago, and she took a date. And that date ended up being the guy that killed people.

[Dr. Laurie]

Yes.

[Bobby Bones]

Mass murderer. What? So, okay, it wasn't like her boyfriend or anything, but. But 2012, Kelly Pickler is from North Carolina. She went to a charity event. She met this Marine Sergeant, Sean De Bois, and it's Cajun or French or something, who had seriously been wounded in battle. So she brought him to the CMT awards. Fast forward 2023. He changed his name to Nigel Edge. It was under that name who had filed suit against Pickler earlier this year claiming she tried to kill him on their date by offering him poison whiskey, which he refused to drink. Edge now is in the news for something more tragic. Saturday, he was arrested, accused of shooting and killing three people, injuring eight others, at the American Fish Company Saloon in Southport, North Carolina.

[Eddie]

Whoa.

[Morgan]

Oh, he looks unwell mentally.

[Bobby Bones]

But they always use a picture that. Because I think you can find pictures of me. And you're like, dude was for sure.

[Eddie]

100 for sure unwell.

[Bobby Bones]

That's. Yeah. And you can't be pissed if you're in the front of them.

[Eddie]

Oh, yeah, he's a booking photo.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, you're pissed.

[Eddie]

If you're take a picture of me at first thing in the morning, I'm gonna look like a murderer.

[Morgan]

Like something's off.

[Bobby Bones]

Eddie, what's your story?

[Eddie]

So I had a story, but I wanted to ask you first. Did you go to New. I know you didn't go, but John Mayer was here.

[Bobby Bones]

I didn't go Sunday night.

[Eddie]

And it's crazy. Like, that festival usually happens during iHeart, so I never even think about going. Had no idea. It wasn't that weekend. It just happened.

[Bobby Bones]

Pilgrimage. Yeah. I got a text going, hey, do you want to come to John Mayer Sunday night? I did not.

[Eddie]

You just didn't want to go.

[Bobby Bones]

I want to do anything.

[Eddie]

I get it. But John Mayer, you're one of your favorite artists.

[Bobby Bones]

My favorite. If it wasn't a festival, if it wasn't, like, out there, and if it wasn't, like, at the same time NFL was happening.

[Eddie]

Oh, that's a thing.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

Cowboys.

[Bobby Bones]

And I have to work the next day. There was just so many things that kept. But most. I just didn't want to. I don't want to do anything.

[Eddie]

Kings of Leon played, too.

[Bobby Bones]

Not Sunday nights, I don't think.

[Eddie]

No Saturday night.

[Bobby Bones]

I would have much. If Mayor would have played on a Saturday night.

[Eddie]

You would have gone.

[Bobby Bones]

Probably not, but I would have.

[Morgan]

I would have thought about it.

[Bobby Bones]

I would have at least considered it. It was an. It was an. It was an instant no for me on a Sunday night. Wow.

[Eddie]

I keep seeing all the videos now, and I'm just kicking myself. Cuz, like. And I'm not a huge, huge John Mayor fan, but I've never seen him live. I don't think. Love to see him.

[Bobby Bones]

It's great.

[Eddie]

And that festival just seems awesome. Like, all that, the whole lineup. Every time it comes out, I'm like, those are my people. Like, Eddie Vedder came one year we.

[Bobby Bones]

Were in at iheart Every year except this one. It's been the same weekend we're in Vegas. Yes. Yeah.

[Eddie]

So I guess automatically I just thought like, well, we're not gonna go to that one.

[Bobby Bones]

Is that your story?

[Eddie]

No, it's not my story.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh.

[Eddie]

My story is there was a heist. Another awesome heist.

[Bobby Bones]

Anybody die? Cuz I need to know how cool I'm gonna think this is. No one died. If nobody died, I could think this is really cool.

[Eddie]

No one died. They were stealing whiskey and so they got, they went to a big distributor in Washington state and they're like, all right, we're gonna go pick up the load of whiskey for whatever, right? So they, these people forged all these documents to make it look like they were a legit distributor. Pulled their truck up, all the employees just loaded up million dollars worth of whiskey included.

[Bobby Bones]

Like million.

[Eddie]

A million dollars, including like this reserve kind of whiskey that's like very limited.

[Bobby Bones]

The weird thing about whiskey being so expensive or worth so much is you can drink it. Yeah, you can drink that away. If you get a painting, you don't eat it. It just goes up in value. It doesn't go away. Whiskey, you did you drink it, it can just go away.

[Eddie]

But the problem, the deal with this whiskey is like, sometimes they store the Whiskey for like 20 years. I get it.

[Bobby Bones]

It's just a weird thing to like have that expensive. Because I've seen like whiskey bottles that's like 40 grand for this aged whiskey. And I'm like, that's awesome to have. If you're only going to have it and it's going to appreciate in value and you're never going to drink it. But you take a drink of it, all of a sudden it's $39,812 down the drain. You just drank it. Yeah. If you get, you get the Mona Lisa, you can't eat it. There's no chance it goes away unless it gets stolen.

[Eddie]

See, I'm like that with food. Like, I don't want to go to an expensive dinner. I'm just going to poop that away.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, I don't. No. But the whiskey is an investment to some people.

[Eddie]

Is it?

[Bobby Bones]

But they'll also have some drinks of it.

[Eddie]

But once you pop that bottle, it's no longer worth that, whatever it is.

[Bobby Bones]

It's like driving a car off the.

[Eddie]

Lot as soon as you open it up.

[Bobby Bones]

So what happened there?

[Eddie]

So they do all the paperwork. They. I mean, they just drove off with the load. And it was supposed to be in New Jersey the next day. Never showed up.

[Bobby Bones]

Gone. All of it. All of it.

[Eddie]

Gone. So the People. They have an idea for the people. They. I mean, they have names, but they're.

[Bobby Bones]

All Ocean 11 type stuff.

[Eddie]

Such good stuff.

[Bobby Bones]

Wow.

[Eddie]

Speaking of Ocean's 11, my son wants to, like, we're kind of in the whole period of like, all right, you need to watch these movies. Days of Confused, Shawshank Redemption, and he's never seen Oceans, so I think we're going to do that this week. I'm so excited.

[Bobby Bones]

That's a good one.

[Eddie]

How are those other ones, though? Are the other ones good?

[Bobby Bones]

They're good, but they get. They get a little bit worse. Our last movie, Mike, my feeling is, before you give the actual, real answer, Mike is loved the first one really like the second one. And they're all pretty good, but they get a little less good as it goes.

[Eddie]

Is there a 13?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, the 13 is where they kind of drop off, but I'd say 1 and 2 are solid. Like, one's really good, like Bobby said. And then they did another one with all women. Ocean's 8. Yep. Is that any good? Nah. Not to sound sexist, but nah. Hey, if it ain't good, it ain't good.

[Dr. Laurie]

All right.

[Bobby Bones]

That's pretty cool. They faked that and just drove off.

[Eddie]

It's gone. But I feel like as soon as they start seeing that reserve being sold places, they're going to be like, well.

[Bobby Bones]

It'Ll probably three or four times black market before it's ever even known that it's out there. And then by the time it's like, where'd you get that from this? There's no tracking it back or they just all drink it. What if that's it?

[Morgan]

Well, what if they have a lot?

[Bobby Bones]

They're just drunk.

[Morgan]

You don't think there's a special task force for whiskey looking on the black market?

[Dr. Laurie]

Possibly sold?

[Bobby Bones]

Possibly. Yeah.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Hey, speaking of that, you want to do Tuesday reviews day?

[Eddie]

Sure.

[Bobby Bones]

Nothing.

[Eddie]

I have nothing. I'm watching Task, but I have nothing.

[Bobby Bones]

Do I have anything? I don't think I. I'm watching. I'm now in a bunch of stuff, but I, I, yeah, I don't have any conclusions. Mike. One battle after another. The new Leonardo DiCaprio movie. Yes. My wife wanted to go see that. It is so good. It's an almost perfect movie. Has a little bit of everything. Action, a lot of comedy. Like Leonardo DiCaprio as, like, a comedic person was something I wasn't really expecting. So good. Three hours, though, huh? It's like two and a half. Yeah.

[Eddie]

My son said that it was funny. Like Sean. He said Sean Penn was hilarious.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, he's like the villain. Oh, that's what I watched. I'm glad you said that. Keep going with your thing. Your rating. Yeah, I give it 4.5 out of.

[Eddie]

5 bathrobes, but it's almost perfect.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, almost perfect. That's 4.5 out of 5. Dang theater, though. Only theater. Only in theater.

[Eddie]

Can you go 4.9?

[Bobby Bones]

No. No.

[Eddie]

Oh, it's got to be 0.5.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Eddie]

What are we going to say about Sean Pen?

[Bobby Bones]

Charlie Sheen, Watch it all. Both episodes of Documentary.

[Eddie]

Documentary.

[Bobby Bones]

He's in it a lot because our friends as kids. It's good. I give it. I'm gonna. I'm gonna give it three and a half.

[Eddie]

So right down the middle, the first.

[Bobby Bones]

Episode sets it up. It's a little long and it. The first episode is a little weak. The second episode comes hard and you're reminded of all that winning and tiger blood and how out of his mind he was. And he's so humiliated by it. He's so embarrassed by it now because he was like, I was just so strung out. It's good. Three and a half. He's just a likable person.

[Eddie]

Okay. I was gonna ask you that. You like him more after.

[Bobby Bones]

Everything about him is like, I shouldn't like him. Rich kid, great looking, super success. But I don't know. I watched it. I'm like, dang. I like Charlie Sheen. What'd you think, Mike? Did you finish it? No, I. I got bored after the first 30 minutes of the first episode, and I couldn't go. It's tough. I found him opposite of you. I found him kind of annoying. I think if you watched it longer. But I don't know.

[Eddie]

The.

[Bobby Bones]

The first episode's tough. Like I said, man, when he's like, smoking crack.

[Eddie]

They show him smoking crack.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, they don't. He's not smoking. Like.

[Eddie]

Of him parting.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. But I don't know if they're, like, zoomed in on him actually crack smoking. But I liked it. I didn't love it. And it's two episodes, and the first episode was kind of weak. Second episode was where it got good. Like, crazy good, man. He was going through women and then men.

[Eddie]

Oh, really?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. He was like, I had everything. I tried everything. He's like, so you have a menu, You've eaten everything on it. Well, you're gonna. And he does this thing. He's like, well, you're gonna flip it around. And he was talking about. He was so. It was all. When he was, like, drugged out of his mind.

[Eddie]

What on earth?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. Wow. He was like, yeah.

[Eddie]

So tried dudes, and he was uber famous.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. And you forget how much of a disaster that tour was whenever he went on that Charlie Sheen speaking tour during winning, and everybody's coming out going, this is the worst thing ever. It was just an. It's a disaster because he was a disaster. Yeah. That is wild. So I'm gonna give that three and a half. Amy, you have anything?

[Morgan]

Well, I finally finished my rewatch of Scandal. I'm done with all seven seasons, so if nobody's ever watched that, I highly recommend it. There was stuff I definitely missed the first time I watched it. And I'm so. I'm glad I did the rewatch because it got added to Netflix. That's the only reason why I started watching it again. And I give it four and a half white hats out of five. Speaking of whiskey, like, something they do in that show is drink whiskey. They. Well, it's like, whiskey or vodka, tequila. Like, I don't know. They're always in the Oval Office or every other. Like, everybody's like, They're. They drink the whole time, like, all day. I mean, I get that that job is stressful or being in politics is stressful, but I'm like, how are you? Y' all drink all the time.

[Eddie]

I love in the movies when, like, people come over to the office and, like, drink, and they always just like. I love that.

[Morgan]

They're, like, in Mad Men in that show, they just drink all day long. And I'm like, what? How could you imagine if, like, we're.

[Eddie]

Here and they're not drunk? Let's talk business.

[Bobby Bones]

They probably are by the end of the day.

[Morgan]

Yeah. That's where I'm just like, this is not realistic. And, like, they. They always just wake up and report for duty. Like, not hungover or feeling crappy. Like, can you imagine if we were drinking scotch every day at work?

[Eddie]

And then. You know what? Speaking of that, too, like, you know, Dean Martin and all those guys and even Van Halen, the stories are coming out. And I know the. The Rat Pat stuff has been out for a while, but Van Halen was saying, like, they would come out on stage and chug Jack Daniels.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, they're all fake.

[Eddie]

And they're like, it was iced tea.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

And then Matt, the Rat Pack guys, Dean Martin, all them, like, they come out on stage, like, hey, act drunk.

[Bobby Bones]

They.

[Eddie]

They were drinking, like, water.

[Bobby Bones]

What? Some. Yeah. Which is crazy because they knew they couldn't perform.

[Eddie]

And the rest of us are like, that's so cool. I'm going to do that.

[Bobby Bones]

Let's try it. Yeah. Yeah.

[Morgan]

Which obviously, I know Mad Men and Scandal. That's a TV show. That's fake. But I feel like they're.

[Bobby Bones]

Good point.

[Morgan]

Well, but Mad Men, that was an era, and I feel like a lot of people did. Like, people that worked in that business. They're trying to paint a picture. They were just smoking and drinking. That was part of the. That, like making a deal with a company.

[Eddie]

Like playing golf.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Morgan]

Like, just come up to my office.

[Bobby Bones]

Morgan. You have a show.

[Morgan]

Yeah, I watched two movies. I watched Elio on Disney and then I watched Superman on hbo.

[Bobby Bones]

Max, I don't know what Elio is. I've seen a preview for. It's a cartoon, too. Yeah.

[Morgan]

It's animated.

[Bobby Bones]

It's a dog.

[Morgan]

No, but it's about this kid who wants to go explore outer space, and he really wants aliens to abduct him. It's such a cute movie. I really loved it. The Pixar is really one of my favorites just to watch. So every time they put out an animated movie, I love it. That one I'd give four out of five planets.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. Superman.

[Morgan]

Oh, Superman. I also love that has a dog.

[Dr. Laurie]

And I was obsessed with the dog the whole time.

[Bobby Bones]

I thought the dog was kind of stupid. I'll be honest with you.

[Morgan]

Really?

[Bobby Bones]

I thought. I love dogs and stuff. I thought the dog was stupid.

[Eddie]

What was the dog's name?

[Bobby Bones]

Crypto. Crypto.

[Eddie]

That's so cool.

[Morgan]

Why did you not like him?

[Bobby Bones]

He wasn't like a real dog.

[Eddie]

What do you mean? He was a real dog.

[Morgan]

He's a rescue dog that they pulled from a shelter.

[Bobby Bones]

No, but he's not like a real dog on the show. Like, he had weird superpowers, you know? I like my dogs to be dogs fast. Yeah. I want my dogs to be, like, mortal. I don't really like them to be. I don't know. Maybe that's a dog thing. I don't like my dogs to be super superhero dogs.

[Eddie]

You know what I keep thinking about in that movie that I really liked was the Monkeys. The monkeys on social media.

[Dr. Laurie]

Oh, yeah.

[Morgan]

The troll monkeys. The troll farm.

[Bobby Bones]

That's good.

[Dr. Laurie]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

What do you.

[Morgan]

Loved it. I. I'd give Superman. Oh, I really want to do five out of five, but I'm gonna go 4.5 out of five cryptos. Just, you know, because you didn't like him. I loved him, though.

[Bobby Bones]

No, it's you. You can have whatever. Right. I don't know. I'd like my dogs to be dog, not super.

[Morgan]

Crypto's too, also in the comics. So I think I knew that he was a superhero. I watched another TV show that was Crypto was part of it with Superman.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. I wasn't familiar with Crypto, so I went into that.

[Eddie]

I'm surprised, Morgan, you didn't watch that, like when it came out.

[Morgan]

I had planned to. Didn't that come out around I Heartfest or something? I heart Country Fest. No, on vacation.

[Bobby Bones]

You know, it stays out. Right. It's. It didn't come out one day I.

[Morgan]

Have a thing where like I have to go and I see it in theaters like right that weekend or I'll just wait for it to come out.

[Bobby Bones]
